okay HRM, where do I find the gas hose? Would I have to remove the tank to find it? I will check for gas at the bottom of the carbs when I start it tomorrow. What else should I be looking for and along with a possible float bowl seal what else could it be? I'll try to send pics . I only have my camera phone right now.

It sounds like the gas is getting sucked into the air filter from a leak at the carbs somewhere. Have you checked the gas hose? Can you feel gas at the bottom of the carbs? I had a leak on a carb last weekend and just felt around on the carb to locate where the leak was really coming from. (float bowl seal on that particular one). Let us know a bit more so we can help you. Feel free to sent pictures too.

I asked before and thought it was because I was over filling the tank. But apparently that is not the case because my bike is running out of gas and then only restarts when I put the petcock on reserve. I noticed also that on the right side under where the carbs are there seems to be an opening. A very short rubber hose type opening that I nver noticed before that had gas leaking out of it(or what I think is gas) when I start it up. I had noticed the leak before but not the rubber opening. This leaking seems to subside once the bike is warm. I have had the bike a little over a year now and haven't ridden it that much(not quite 1000 miles) with still learning and all. So consequently, I haven't been getting the correct mileage out of it at all. So 2 things: when I put gas in it filling up or not, it seems to flow into the air box and it also flows out of this newly discovered rubber opening. I can't tell if something is missing and this opening should be covered or if the opening should be there or what the deal is. Please can somebody help??
